Yeah the low cost healthcare definitely makes it easier. I personally never not had healthcare since I never lived in the USA after 25 (thanks Mom and Dad). I visited earlier this year and I made a joke saying, "If I get COVID before I leave, put me in a bubble and send me on the next flight to Taiwan."

Outside of policy, I was more so talking about my general lifestyle and how hard it would be replicate in the USA. American lifestyle is all about work, no play. Taiwanese people work really hard too and I definitely don't envy their education system either; it my eyes it sucks the soul out of children. However I find that in my field it's not hard to work somewhere with flexible hours and people who don't side-eye you for taking a 1 month vacation. Flexibility and long leave is rare is most American jobs.

My flexible hours also allows me to randomly have Tuesday afternoons off, and enjoy a variety of hobbies and extracurriculars. In the USA most people spend much of their waking hours, working or commuting to work.

Since Taiwan is small and has good infrastructure, it makes domestic travel super easy. So being in a small country with good infrastructure, plus a good work/life balance, and affordable living costs and healthy food makes Taiwan an ideal place.

Some Taiwanese people secretly like Trump because he's anti-China, so if he were to win (I have a feeling he will), they'll be happy about that part at least.

The US government took it upon themselves to be the police officers of the world as oppose investing money in creating systems that make the the place great for all. The pandemic (and many other things) fully exposed the ugly side of America, and it finally has some people reconsidering what they thought was the "greatest country in the world."

People are finally waking up I guess.
